He certainly could have, if he wanted to.

I’d use my platform here at XXL to let the world know that, if anything bad happens to me, it was probably Jay-Z’s fault, but the post would probably just disappear. And then something bad would happen to me. Jay-Z is sneaky like that.
Charlemagne the God had to find out the hard way. He let Beanie Sigel come on his show on Philly radio station 100.3 The Beat and air Jay out, and now he’s out of a job. Coincidence? In a fascinating interview posted to this site yesterday, Charlemagne won’t say, probably because he’s desperate for another job in radio. It’s like when you curse out your boss at White Castle and walk off the job, then you don’t put White Castle on your application at K-Mart and just hope they don’t ask what you’ve been up to for the past year or so. (We’ve all done this before, right?)
Of course he tries to make it seem as if he could give a rat’s ass about whether or not he works in radio again, but you can tell how desperate he is, when he runs down a list of his lucrative side hustles.
Put it like this, the radio station is just one check. There’s a hundred checks coming from a lot of different places so I’m just staying active. Me and [comedian] Lil Duval still doing the Hood State of the Union webisodes, I’m still writing for Ozone magazine, I’m still a street correspondent for Wendy Williams’ TV show, and I got a book coming out on Wendy’s book imprint next year called Pull Your Damn Pants Up.
Lil’ Duval, anyone? Me neither. The world’s most accurate encyclopedia says he was a semi-finalist on BET’s “Coming to the Stage.” And then there’s a list of shitty southern rap albums, but it isn’t clear to me if he’s also a rapper, and this is a list of album’s he’s appeared on, or what. He must have written this entry himself. Shit, it could just be a list of his favorite albums. I might need to go to the discussion page for his entry and question whether he’s notable enough for his own entry in Wikipedia, like yours truly.
